The problem is that we are in a season where mistakes would prove very costly. All the top teams would hardly lose to small teams. City looks like a team that is ready to reach 90 points. You don't get there by losing two many matches. A team that aspires to win the league should not lose more than 3 matches the whole season.
It's a lie.
The becnhmark is actually 7.
No team has won the EPL after losing 7 games.

And also stop thinking he's Scholes with those his useless shots.
One struck the crossbar.
Taking shots isn't a major problem.. Some of the best players are fond of such.

That has been the pattern on this thread for a few years now.
You hear things like "We are facing just Stoke, Watford, Crystal Palace and Everton so we should get at least 10 points from these matches".
Then we go and lose 2 or 3 of these so called easy matches.
Same thing every season. Even offline some of my United friends were so confident before the City match I thought I must have been missing something.
Only the grace of Jehovah Jireh and the unreliability of Claudio Bravo can save the EPL from falling to City this season. City are playing fluid attacking and effective football and they have not really unleashed Gundogan (who I rate highly), Sane would improve and ...erm Gabriel Jesus is coming in January.
This was the hype you people gave City last time out.

When I said Mourinho lacked the balls to exert his authority on our 'untouchables', I wasn't wrong. I repeat, how Mourinho handles the problem in the article below will prove his success or failure, I said it a long time ago and this article just reiterated my opinion.

How would he bench the most influential player in the team without a Casillas-esque crisis. huh
It needs to be done with tact.

dopejemi, Elxandre is it ok to start raising eyebrows and asking one or two questions?? Or is it still too early in the season?? Afterall, we beat Hull away from Home
If we had Aguero, we might have been two goals up by halftime.
You guys make it seem like there were no positives in the game.

*We moved the ball faster and better yesterday
*Pogba hoarded the ball less and made some great passes. He wasn't actually shit as i'm reading here. Maybe unspectacular.

Even the goals happened same way, which might suggest work needs to be done on the left wing.
The third goal came after the two wing backs had been removed, so i'm not taking that seriously.


I've been reading here that Jose's tactics have been found out and that Pep is the best thing since sliced bread, and i've been wondering what the hell that means after five games.
Is it surprising that the Champions league semi-finalists have a headstart over last season's Europa league quaterfinalists who only scored 49 league goals last season?

Now to the Jose has been found out story
A man has had only one awful season in his entire career and still outclassed everyone in the EPL in 2015, playing some stunning football, and he has been found out because he had a crisis filled season.
Jose has taken only the most daunting tasks throughout his career, from winning Porto's first UCL since 1986 or so, to Challenging and overthrowing Fergie's Man United in England, to winning Inter's first European trophy since maybe 1976 or so, to deposing Barcelona's evil team, to winning the league just over 1 year ago!

If you were in charge of affairs at United, which other manager comes close to his pedigree?

I'm sure the many can't even identify the supposedly 'found out' tatics sef.

No one is talking about the fact that Zlatan could have saved us in the past two league games.
Seriously he's too slow to play alone upfront. sad
There's a chance he should have ran clear of the defence, but he was too slow.

We must play very close to the box to maximise he's potential, or play with someone faster close behind him.

See teams playing attacking footie and winning games. But Mourinho expects to win the league by sitting back in his own half. All u pro Mourinho, i just dey here dey look una. We're all in this togeda. We go hear am this season.
Una no dey satisfy. grin

We've won three out of four epl games.
Calm down and see if he'll compete for the league or not.

The fact still remains the highest profile coach we could have employed to change this team was Mourinho, especially since Pep was taken.

Another positive is that we at least have a coach who admits he can improve, unlike LVG who would say "We controlled possession but were unlucky" cheesy

I still believe Pellegrini played some stunning football early last season but we know what happened.

It's too early for any serious assertions.

Latest rumour model to be used
UI Admission 2016/2017. The admission screening is divided into 2 sections but all over 100. The procedure is as follows: You will place the candidate's UTME score over (divide by) 400 and multiply it by 50 to obtain half of the derived score. Then stage 2 is to compute the O'level part over 50 also. Choose the best 5 subjects that are relevant to the course chosen (must include English and mathematics) and compute thus: A1=6points, B2, =5points, B3=4points. C4=3points, C5=2points & C6=1point. Multiply whatever score you get is over 30 by 50 to get the second half of the derived score. Add the two derived scores to obtain the percentage score. Let's try out an example: For a child who got 240 in UTME. It is 240/400×50 =30 points. Then his/her O'level results: Eng lang A1(6 points). Maths. B2. (5points). Biology A1. (6 points). Chem. B2. (5points). Physics B3. (4points). The candidate got 6+5+6+5+4=26/30×50=43 points. Therefore, the candidate has a percentage score of 30+43= 73. The minimum score for a child to enter UI is 50%. However, for many courses, there would be ranking and the cut off point may be much higher. You can compute for your candidate now.
Hopefully this doesn't happen!
Adamu see your life. sad

This present beef is immature really.

We've seen people mentioning elampiro when Rooney fails(very repeatedly), but he doesn't go about attacking the posters with vile words.

If you can't take a banter you ignore!

Come on!

For the first time, I'm not enjoying an e-fight! grin

The problem I had with this Pogba deal was his "attitude".
The pressure of carrying that price tag on your head as a midfielder can mess you up.

Now, Pogba thinks keeping things simple would mean he isn't justifying the price tag, hence the silly hoarding of the ball.

It might turn to be a difficult situation.
Mou needs to work closely with him.

I really want to see an in form Mhki in the number 10 spot.
He has the most flair of all our midfielders.

This is not even funny! So much disjointed play. It's pathetic. I even need to apologise to Rooney. If Pogba starts next match I won't watch it.
I decided Rooney still does a decent job after Man city.
Though it would be nice to get a better 10.

There are rumours Mhki is discontent with playing on the wings.

Oga! Why are u crying more than the bereaved...

At least display some form of control over your emotions before u mumu yourself...

That been said...

First of all.. Delete that idea that u wait 3-4 hours to get a full charge using a non flash charging scheme... All u need is an original charger with an output of 1.8A at least and u would get a full charge within the same charge time frame as the flash charging...

Secondly.. I use a hot note with a charger that doesn't provide me with a flash charge and i haven't had a reason to miss the flashcharging feature available on my device...
The Infinix hot note charger charges to 100% in less than 2 hours.

There's no way in the world a 1.8A charger can achieve that!

Pls sir can u explain how Hazard is a better dribbler.
Hazard has had a terrible year, so I guess it affects the statistics.
It goes beyond stats!
Do you also agree Neymar is a better dribbler than Messi?

That's Hazard 2014/2015 season.

You are right. We aren't like-minded. Trying to think like you but all that cross my mind are these questions? Does vehicle depreciate? Is it an asset? How will that feed me in the next 20 years? This is so comparable to a story where two hungry men were given 50 bags of Pearl millet seeds. One fed it to his family, friends and even beggars for a year (living the good life) while the other planted them and after 10years, fed the whole city, passing down his legacy from generations to generations.

"Why do you spend money on what cannot nourish you and your wages on what does not satisfy you? Listen carefully to me: Eat what is good, and enjoy the best foods." Isaiah 55:2

Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. 1 Timothy 6:17-18.

Guess am too religious for you. Just do what your conscience says its right atleast thats what T.D. Jakes refers to as instinct (your perfect being).
You fail to understand that people who buy these cars are top level earners who find that N28m disposable without breaking a sweat.

They have already invested and are still investing.

Surprisingly you quote TD jakes, the most flamboyant pastor in the world!

Hmm... My brains falter because of my irrational thinking, interesting.

Managed? After buying such car? You are still managing to help? Come on!! White people brought about christianity? Jesus Christ was a Jew (Isrealites are to caucasians as Africans are to Mongolians) Psalms 14:1 "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good."....so do not say or believe in what you are not sure You are contradicting yourself. Anyways I did not castigate anyone's belief. I made a point backing it up with the only word of wisdom I know. "Is not wisdom found among the aged?" Job12:12a how much more do you think would be gotten from an ancient book?

"For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." Matt24:24. "For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive." Romans16:18
Seriously, you are talking rubbish!

Would you still continue living in a face me I gave you house after getting successful?

So you are holier than Solomon and David that were living a flamboyant lives right?

How many do you help daily from your present capacity?
Or you think you have to be able to afford a Porsche before you become a philanthropist?

Let me ask. Would you ever buy a car? I mean any car at all.
